Visiting Assistant Professor, Auburn University, 2013-2014 Fourth Year Studio Instructor, Fall 2013-Spring 2014 Taking inspiration from the Affordable Healthcare Act, students designed an “urban healthcare facility.” Students interpreted the premise that changes in the law would change the manner that healthcare is administered so radically that it would necessitate change to the building typology.

Professional Practice Course Instructor, Spring 2014 Lecture course for fourth year students exploring elements of professional practice, including evolution of the profession, administration, fee structure, marketing, and management.

JEFFREY COLLINS, AIA [email protected] 404-259-3334 Studio Instructor, First Year, Southern Polytechnic State University, Spring 2013 Using existing walls as “sites,” students researched and applied standard construction assemblies and use of drawing conventions such as the section-axonometric. Course included material investigation, exploitation of details and drawing techniques, and insertion and design of wall penetration (door), transparency (window) and inhabitation (furniture). Studio Instructor, Fifth Year Focus Studio, “Learning from Los Insectos: Biomimicry in Architecture”, Southern Polytechnic State University, Fall 2012 Course explored biomimicry in architecture. Series of investigations in nature-inspired design led students from exploration of nature’s designs and processes, translation into architectural concepts, and deployment to building forms which blur architecture with landscape. Studio Instructor, Third Year, Georgia Institute of Technology School of Architecture, Fall 2009 Taking inspiration from vernacular architecture, students designed a Non-(Air) Conditioned House, a Community Room for the inhabitants of the studied vernacular dwellings, and a Camp and Health Center located in Midtown Atlanta.
